Our Kilimanjaro team is presently trekking towards Lava Tower, a 300 ft tall volcanic rock formation at 15,160 feet. After which, they’ll descend to the Barranco Camp at 13,060 feet, to camp for the night.

This moderate-difficult trekking day is crucial for acclimatisation. Climbing to above 15,000 feet and then camping at a lower altitude allows the body to acclimatise well to the high altitude.

Apart from witnessing the striking volcanic rock formation, the team will also trek through a strange but beautiful Senecio Forest with Giant Tree Groundsels rising to 30 ft all around you in a grassy landscape. It almost feels like you are walking in some alien land here.

We’re eagerly waiting to hear the details of today’s trek. And we’ll update all interesting insights that we receive from the team here.
